Early acetone test results...
Granted this is after just one tank...
Acetone used bought at Sally's Beauty Supply.
Vehicles used:
1988 bmw 325 (usual avg. ~9.3 liters / 100klm)
1995 D2500 slt (usual avg. ~11mpg)
Methods:
bmw - onboard fe gauges (instant + cumulative)
d2500 - fleet fuel computation (odometer readings / gallons)
Concentration / dilution ratio: 3 ounces per 10 gallons fuel
No improvements noted, perhaps 0.1-0.2 mpg but certainly no 10%
Even on the truck it should improve by just over 0.5 mpg and that's only 5%
The car, at 5% should come down to 8.9l / 100klm
At a cost of $10 per gallon acetone I need to gain at least double that amount in improvements, so on a 30 gallon tank it needs to save about 6 gallons... 30 x 11 = 330... x10% = 360 = +3 gallons, hmmm yeah this method might not be all that it's cracked up to be.
Maybe it improves mpg on cars that haven't ran good fuel as it might clean intake systems, but I always run super and a dirty intake is not a problem I ever experience.
I'll run it until I'm through the bottle (I bought a quart) but by then I want to see it pay off or I'm done with it.
